Enrollment

To continue coverage, the covered person must complete a COBRA continuation enrollment form within 60 days after their group coverage terminates. The COBRA participant must pay the required monthly costs for the continuation of coverage. If you have any questions or need COBRA enrollment forms, contact the Office of Insurance Management, 208-332-1860, ogi@adm.idaho.gov
